That depends on your requirements.

I probably would use "OFS.Folder" (it contains all of the above and more).

All Zope site building objects should derive from "SimpleItem"
(maybe indirectly).

Otherwise, it depends on your requirements (you include e.g.
"PropertyManager", when you object should have Web manageable
properties; it is that simple...)
